So Much Depends On

Red Beard fans! I visited Volume again tonight for the first time in a while... I encourage you all to join Alex Kime and other literary arts teens on Thursdays @ 6:30. I forgot what an amazing program it is and how much it helps me process/release myself from anxieties I have. This week Hannah Mitchell talked to us about imagist poetry like William Carlos Williams. I hadn't thought about the poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" in a long time and I was really interested by the way she re-taught it. Though not always at a convenient point in the week and sometimes a bit sleepier than necessary, Volume continues to remind me that poetry and literature are not separate from everyday life. I wrote our fans a poem in the hopes it will sway you to join Volume next week with Fiona Chamness and her fantastic attitude! 

So much depends
upon

The copy machine's double
sided feature,

Its futuristic origins which
confuse most people

but the water cup sitting gently on its edge,
whose quaking ripples yawn silently, has mastered
